knife.

the boy looked at the knife in his hand. he knows he cant do it. he knows he shouldnt.
just once he says.
just once. two words he couldnt keep. the knife slices through his skin as tears fall down his face before trickling down to his wrists.
"astro, love? what are you.."
he stops in his tracks. there the boy stands, blood running down his wrists. pale.
"astro.. put the knife down please. please love."
no response. the boy clutched the knife harder.
"im sorry." he says. "i didnt.. i didnt mean to."
he dropped the knife before convering his face with his hands and dropping to the floor. then he heard his partners voice.
"astro i-..." he stood there in silence. he wiped the tears from his eyes.
"love.. dont leave me again. stay right there. ill go get bandages."
he returned a few minutes later. a few minutes to late.
"astro im back with the bandages let me-..."
he turned around and screamed.
the boy lay there. a pool of blood around him.
"no. NO.. ASTRO PLEASE.. DONT LEAVE ME AGAIN."
he shook him.
"astro.. please."
no response. hes gone.
